What are the levels of authentication assigned to documents and decisions in SPEAR?
Standard – Applies to those documents or decisions that are generally administrative in nature and do not require any further level of authentication to be finalised in SPEAR. An example of this is the adding of an organisation’s Reference Numbers to an application. Password Approved – Most documents and decisions in SPEAR require password approval before they are finalised. Documents are then able to be viewed by other SPEAR user groups related to the application.

Signing – Key documents or decisions in SPEAR require a Digital Signature to be applied as authentication. Digital Signatures are required to be added by Licensed Surveyors to the Plan of Subdivision, Abstract of Field Records and Surveyors Report. Council Delegates are required to Digitally Sign Planning Permit Decisions, Certification Decisions and Statements of Compliance in SPEAR.
